I wonder if there is any way to counter that. I can only imagine placing another matching camscreen face to face onto the source one and sending what it sees to a trusted camera-incapable display. But then there is a lot more practical questions and implications..
Would we even know if a screen is “camera-incapable”? One day the “think of the children” routine will come for your screen.
So literally a telescreen from 1984.

Anyone that says they don't value privacy and they have nothing to hide is never willing to install a livestreaming camera in their bedroom and bathroom.
The telescreen doesn't really add anything to what we have today, with camera and screen separated. Perhaps it will what finally removes the last place of privacy for regular people, their home. It's already happened with smart tvs and voice assistants but supposedly they don't record all the time.
Most phones seem to have working permissions, not to say that people won't allow microphone access, but it isn't the default. Pretty sure that there's no option for microphone all the time, unlike location.
I definitely could see a "scandal" when smart TV manufacturers start adding these to analyze peoples reactions to advertising.
Could you put it past them considering they already record your screen by default?
Is this really as detrimental to privacy as other comments claim? There are already very small cameras which can be used for adversarial purposes. This technology could be useful for many utilitarian purposes.
Love the technological aspect, hate the practical implications. Any part of any screen can be a camera. Good luck covering that with a post-it.

Not buying invasive shit?

Won't happen? Think smartphones. Even if you don't have one, everyone around does, with all the consequences.

This company is testing that theory by giving a TV away for free, with built-in second screen for ads, and a camera: https://www.telly.com/

A small camera can easily be covered up. You can't cover something that's embedded into the screen itself.
